Song Description

He's leaving a dead-end small town life for bigger things.

Lyrics

Didn't take long for me to pack
Threw everything I had back in the back of a rental truck and I was on the road
Left my job several days ago
Turned my notice in
and told'em I wouldn't be back again
They smiled like they'd heard it all before
Cashed my last paycheck right out of the drawer

-Chorus-
This place has had all of me that it's going to get and they're going to see
They tried but they couldn't stop my dreams
I'm not spendin' the rest of my life around here
Trying to get through one more year
I was born to spread my wings
I'm moving on to bigger things

Everybody here has a plan for me
Know just who and what they want me to be
Don't get the part down deep inside
That's looking for more than the small-town life
They all smile real nice
And give me lots of settle down advice
Nothing wrong with the way they live
But I know that I've got more to give

-Chorus-
They've had all of me that they're going to get and they're going to see
They tried but they couldn't stop my dreams
I'm not spendin' the rest of my life around here
One more month and I'll die I swear
It's time to spread my wings
I'm moving on to bigger things

-Bridge-
Said goodbye to a few friends
And set myself free
God bless anybody here who helped me believe

-Chorus-
This town's had all of me that they're going to get and they're going to see
They tried but they couldn't stop my dreams
Gonna find myself a brand new gig
Where the lights are bright and the world is big
And I can finally spread my wings
Time for moving on, time for moving on, time for moving on to bigger things
